My least favorite trend in gaming has come to Avowed, which means that if you’re willing to pay some extra money for it, you’ll be able to play it five days early.
Executives at video game companies really have run out of ways to get you to pay more for their games, haven’t they? They couldn’t just stick to microtransactions, live service models, expansions, deluxe editions, and all that nonsense; They had to add an incentive like paying more to be able to play before everyone else. “Ohh, look at this, you can brag about having played the latest hit video game before anyone else, and it’ll only cost you a day’s wages!” Let’s run! And yet, that same trend will be found in Avowed, as Obsidian recently detailed the premium edition of the game, which yes, will let you play it five days early, if you’re willing to pay $90.

Yes, that’s right, if you want to play it almost a week early, you’ll have to spend about a day’s wages on the premium edition. That’s not all you get, you get two premium skin packs as well as access to the game‘s digital art book and soundtrack, but if we’re being honest, that’s a bit tough for that much money, right? Do you want me to spend that much money for almost nothing? Yeah, I think I’ll pass on the premium edition, but good luck to those of you who end up playing early, let’s hope the Elder Scrolls type RPG doesn’t have game-ruining bugs like Elder Scrolls.
If you’re on Xbox game Pass, you won’t need to pay anything for the game as it’s available on the service from day one (on the Ultimate tier, anyway), but you’ll still have to purchase it. premium edition if you’re so desperate to play it early.
